To be clear I don't think they're "extinct" I think they're a unique and distinct part of our society like people of any other background. Their stories deserve to be taught in school, in the context of our shared history (good and bad) - and they deserve to be represented in government - like everyone else. And they deserve to live the way they want, like everyone else. Nobody's rights should be trampled.

> This may also not be the context of whats being discussed in the article but we are touching on the broader topic of indigenous rights and sovereignty.

Maybe, but I do appreciate you sharing your perspective.
